Portable Transponder/DME Test Set
A portable transponder/DME ramp test
set, the rugged ATC-600A is the ideal
solution for both ramp or bench use.
• Read XPDR code and altitude
numerically
• Measure transponder frequency and
check for correct DME channel
• Measure transponder receiver sensitivity
• Performs all tests required by the
revised Federal Aviation Regulations
(91.177 and 43 Appendix F)
• Two-year limited warranty
Performance Features
The ATC-600A will perform, with radiated signals, all the tests required by
the revised Federal Aviation Regulations (91.177 and 43 Appendix F, as
amended December 19, 1973).
• Reads out XPDR code and altitude numerically and also displays binary
pulse information for code and altitude
• Measures transponder frequency and checks for correct DME channel
• Front panel connector provided to directly check the output of altitude
encoders
• Capable of checking XPDR input pulse decoder gate for marginal
operation
IFR is a leader in the design, manufacture and
marketing of Avionics test systems.
A portable transponder/DME ramp test set, the
rugged ATC-600A is the ideal solution for both
ramp or bench use. Providing simulation of the
ground station or airborne environment, the ATC600A meets the latest ARINC specifications and
FAA regulations concerning transponder receiver
sensitivity and SLS tests.
Transponder tests allow quick determination of
transmitter power, frequency, percent reply, pilot’s
code and encoded altitude. For DME testing, the
unit includes accurate range and velocity simulation, power and frequency and PRF measurements.
• Checks position of XPDR second framing pulse relative to F1
• Measures transponder receiver sensitivity and SLS tests
• Precision DME range and velocity signals, both X and Y channel
• Uses remote tripod mounted antenna - can be accurately spaced from
aircraft antenna for power measurements
